I think it's a video of an arab pointing to an oil well and saying, "All your oil are belong to us."

These are public service commercials designed to win young muslims over in the arab world from going to the fundamentailists.
Cant wait to see what they are going to bring us!

So exactly how does the government promoting ads that persuade someone to a different branch of their religion fit in with the seperation of church and state?

I think it is tied in with turning in terrorists for money by U.S. Citizens all over the globe.

yes, that's what he just said.

These certainly can't be any worse than the current "I Am An American" comercials running now. Inclusive of all races, genders, and lifestyles, except for mine. Not exactly representative of my little corner of the country.

Can't watch where I am. So how do they look?

In that picture I imagine him to be saying "you talking to me?"
After viewing the OBL video today and the more quotes I hear from the Koran it just makes you laugh to think of Islam=Peace

I think the ads are going to show how nice we are to Muslims here in the U.S., and show American children sending blankets and toys to the Afghan children, and that sort of thing. Maybe have an American Muslim talking about how great it is to live in the U.S. Maybe also a lot of smiling Muslim children in the U.S. and maybe even some Afghans talking about how the U.S. food rations saved their family from starvation or something like that. Pure propaganda stuff. "We are not at war with Islam." will be the main point we want to get across.
P.S. I'm not near a TV, so I have no idea what the ads are going to look like. It will be interesting to see if I'm correct or not.

To: umbra
The ads I really hate are the ones done by this "Ad Council" with a voice over by John Ashcroft. The ones pleading with Americans to please not be a redneck and beat up the first Arab you see. Never mind that such attacks have been practically non-existent.
To: wimpycat
Wow! What a great ad!
The Arab/Muslim Community: "May Allahs' love spread onto you and your family......OR WE'LL KILL YOU ALL!!!!!
